چکیده
We construct a novel observable for finite temperature QCD that relates confinement and chi-ral symmetry. It uses phases as boundary conditions for the fermions. We discuss numerical and analytical aspects of this observable, like its spectral behavior below and above the critical temperature, as well as the connection to chiral condensate, center symmetry and the canonical ensemble.

متن کاملThin and dressed Polyakov loops from spectral sums of lattice differential operators
We represent thin and dressed Polyakov loops as spectral sums of eigenvalues of differential operators on the lattice. For that purpose we calculate complete sets of eigenvalues of the staggered Dirac and the covariant Laplace operator for several temporal boundary conditions. The spectra from different boundary conditions can be combined such that they represent single (thin) Polyakov loops, o...
متن کاملChiral symmetry at finite T , the phase of the Polyakov loop and the spectrum of the Dirac operator
Chiral symmetry at finite T , the phase of the Polyakov loop and the spectrum of the Dirac operator. Abstract A recent Monte Carlo study of quenched QCD showed that the chiral conden-sate is non-vanishing above T c in the phase where the average of the Polyakov loop P is complex. We show how this is related to the dependence of the spectrum of the Dirac operator on the boundary conditions in Eu...
متن کاملPolyakov Loop Dynamics in the Center Symmetric Phase
A study of the center symmetric phase of SU(2) Yang Mills theory is presented. Realization of the center symmetry is shown to result from non-perturbative gauge xing. Dictated by the center symmetry, this phase exhibits already at the perturbative level con nement like properties. The analysis is performed by investigating the dynamics of the Polyakov loops. The ultralocality of these degrees o...
متن کاملGapless Dirac Spectrum at High Temperature
Using the overlap Dirac operator I show that, contrary to some expectations, even well above the critical temperature there is not necessarily a gap in the Dirac spectrum in pure SU(2) gauge theory. This happens when the Polyakov loop and the fermion boundary condition combine to give close to periodic boundary condition for the fermions in the time direction. In this Polyakov loop sector there...
